Question

I have created a maven project in eclipse using the maven2eclipse plugin.

I then convert the project to a web module project by going to project facets in the project properties.

The problem is that when I attempt to create a class under the directory src/main/resources, none of my classes compile. I can put any sort of junk in the classes and the compiler doesn’t give me any warnings. Also, the package I create doesn’t create a “brown package” but a folder instead.

Does anyone know what I have configured wrong?

src/main/resources is intended to hold… resources: properties files, images, etc. that are copied to the classes directory. Java source files must be put in src/main/java.
